A recent multimillion-dollar retrofit has completely transformed the 15-storey former office building on Kennedy Street into 104 high-quality apartment units, with more than 14,000 square feet of ground-level commercial space, along with a fitness centre, yoga room and social lounge for residents. The renovation, led by local firm Number TEN Architectural Group, included a complete upgrade of the 1970s-built structure to meet modern code requirements, including the elevators, the heating and cooling systems, the parkade and more, and took more than two years to complete.
